Spiers & Boden

John Spiers and Jon Boden arrived on the folk scene at the start of the new millennium, quickly establishing themselves with a clutch of BBC Folk Award wins. Combining the traditional sounds of melodeon, fiddle and voice with innovative arrangements and high-octane performance style, they have been at the forefront of the English folk scene ever since. They are co-founders of Bellowhead, which has gone on to fill the Royal Albert Hall several times, play the BBC's Proms In the Park and sign to major label, Universal. As a duo, they bring to the stage an impressive back catalogue and an intuitive musical understanding that is as joyful as it is adept. 'This is traditional folk delivered with modern verve.' EDS 'Spiers and Boden are, probably, the perfect duo to headline Saturday night. Boden is the showman, Spiers the melodeon-wielding wizard; between them they make Saturday night absolutely joyous.'
